'this routine creates a 3 dimentional look up table
' the table is 44x3 (if converted to a file this would be 44
' records of 3 fields each).
' Element 1 = the ASCII Character that the CODE represents
' Element 2 = THE 3 of 9 image using text BLOCK GRAPHICS
' bb=SOLID BLACK CHAR. Û
' ww=SOLID white CHAR.
' bw=First-half white Sec-half black char.Þ
' bw=First-half black Sec-half white char.Ý
' Element 3 = THE 3 of 9 image shifted 1/2 char left
' the first narrow black line is cut off and
' a narrow white line added to the end.

' this is neccessary to generate the narrow white inter character gap
' required for 3 of 9 coding.
' a WB (Þ) character is added after all element 2 codes (except the
' stop character), and this forms the first black bar of the next
' character (which will be an element 3 code). The element 3 code has
' an extra narrow white bar on the end which is the inter character gap
' between the next character (back to element 2 codes).
' this alternating pattern is then repeted for the whole code sequence
' with ODD position characters receiving an addional WB added to them
